FEARS & WORRIES & ANXIETIES, OH MY!
Do not be anxious about anything but in everything, by
prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the
peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and
your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV).
Today our lives seem to be burdened with fears and
uncertainties. Each day there is something that could set off an alarm of
doubts and cause anxieties to muddle our lives. The economy, international
crises, family issues, health concerns--the list is never-ending. God's word is
and can always be a comfort. I can't say when the Word became clear to me, but
I'm thankful for the revelation. Faith and trust in the Lord is our BEST
comforter. I'm blessed to know that the Lord listens, even if I'm repetitive
with my prayer concerns. He listens to us all and He likes a little praise now
and then, too.
The lyrics of an old hymn come to mind whenever I feel
overwhelmed with worries and stuff. I find myself repeating the refrain, a lot,
and I know I'm in good hands, God's hands. The refrain is: "God will take
care of you, thro' every day, O'er all the way. He will take care of you; God
will take care of you." [Civilla D. Martin, 1904.] May this remind us of
our ever-present Lord and that He will indeed take care of us.
Prayer: Gracious
Father, we only need to remember your words and know that you are always near
to hear our prayers. May we always trust your love and caring for us because
you will take care of us. Amen.
